Shang Palace Dubai

A Feast for the Eyes and the Palate The food here tastes as good as it looks. The presentation of the Red Rice Rolls is stunning (and the table-side sauce pour is a nice touch). The shrimp was fresh and crispy, and the soup dumplings were folded perfectly. A very refined dining experience.

We had brunch there and everything tasted absolutely amazing. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, making the whole experience truly enjoyable. Thinzar and Linn were incredibly charming and attentive throughout our visit. Their warm smiles and excellent service made us feel very welcome and comfortable. We truly appreciated their hospitality and will definitely come back again.

Type: Saturday/Sunday Brunch Date: 6th of April 2025 Seating: 1 Person Timing: 12.00PM to 4.00PM Welcoming: I went to a - for me - new (brunch) venue, the Shang Palace in the Shangri-La Dubai. Once arrived and asked for Shang Palace, I was accompanied by a colleague/security, what was outstanding! I was already 11.45AM at Shang Palace and got the information, that opening is 12.00PM (what is absolutely fine) and can have a seat before getting to my table. Very nice! Start: I had the GREAT pleasure to be served by “Yan” - just wow. From second one, his attitude and attention to the detail, especially because I was alone was outstanding. He explained me the menu and the process very in detail and without open questions. Food: Shortly after the introduction, the “first round” with Appetizer was served. General note: All items will be served in smaller portions, what is perfect (!) to understand the flavour and if it is fitting you, because you can order all items again and again. You can check their brunch menu before and in the menu which get as well. Yan and their colleagues explained me every single items as well! They are so many different highlights, you will definitely find your favourite one(s). Conversations/Atmosphere: It became quite busy over the time, but what impressed me was, that all employees were still smiling and able to have a conversation with every table and to assist. It was really nice to get to know the legendary head/executive chef Mr. Peter Lau and Operations Manager F&B Mr. Sunil Gladstone. They took so much time to talk to me. I need to highlight, that I am not just “feeding” myself, I am really in the food to understand the concept and vision. Regarding Atmosphere: It was becoming very cold, but the impact from Shang Palace is limited. The seating is shared (higher floor) with the main lobby. Means, the hotel is controlling the temperature and not the outlets. But perhaps this could be a space of improvement. Summery: A great Asian journey, famous for Peking duck and different tastes and flavours. I can definitely recommend the brunch, but also I will go for the a la carte/set menu option beside. Thanks team!

We were quite disappointed from the Dim Sum there, taste was not as good as other Chinese restaurants in Dubai. Service is very good though. Drinks were definitely over charged.

What a lovely start to Chinese new year. Loved the lion dance and new years set menu was amazing. Thanks to Mark and his crew for looking after me.

Outstanding experience at Shang Palace, Shangri-La Dubai We had a wonderful dining experience at Shang Palace on SZR. The food was excellent — beautifully presented, full of flavour, and clearly prepared with great attention to detail. Every dish we ordered was spot on. A special mention to Yan, who took exceptional care of us throughout the evening. His service was attentive, warm, and professional without ever being intrusive. He made us feel genuinely welcome and elevated the entire experience. Great food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

We always love visiting Shangri-La Dubai, particularly for its exceptional dining experiences. On this occasion, we were invited to explore the new menu at Shang Palace, a venue featured in the Michelin Guide 2025. Situated on the first floor of the Shangri-La Hotel, this restaurant boasts traditional Chinese décor and delivers friendly, attentive service. The extensive menu at Shang Palace highlights high-quality ingredients to create authentic Cantonese dishes, assorted colorful dim sum, and generous portions of their signature Peking duck. Under the expert guidance of Chef Peter Lau, who has over two decades of culinary excellence, his philosophy merges traditional flavors with innovative presentations. His commitment to achieving culinary perfection results in a beautiful blend of flavors and textures, elevating the overall dining experience. Starting with the appetizers, we tried the Classical Hot and Sour Soup, which was rich and flavorful, packed with fresh vegetables and tender chicken. The Chilled Corn-fed Chicken with Sichuan Red Chili Oil offered a new and exciting flavor profile—a cold, salad-style dish that was vibrant and spicy, showcasing the essence of traditional Chinese cuisine. The Deep-fried Prawns with Kiwi Salsa in Sichuan Mayonnaise Sauce were expertly prepared, with a crispy exterior and tender meat inside, perfectly balancing textures. Our main course featured an enticing mix of Cantonese and Sichuan dishes. The Steamed Sea Bream with Preserved Radish in King Soy Sauce was outstanding—this was one of the best seafood dishes I've had in a long time. The deboned fish, beautifully presented, was garnished with thin slices of radish, adding a delightful crunch and flavor to each bite. The Boiled Sliced Beef Striploin in Sichuan Broth was equally delicious, with tender beef strips swimming in a rich, hearty broth that paired wonderfully with jasmine rice. For dessert, we indulged in two delectable options: a warm Chocolate Fondant with Coconut Ice Cream and Chocolate Sable, which was intensely chocolaty and paired perfectly with the refreshing coconut ice cream; and the traditional Sweet Sago and Mango with Milk Cream, a mild and refreshing dessert featuring small pieces of mango. Overall, dining at Shang Palace in Shangri-La Dubai is an experience that stands out in the fine dining landscape. With its commitment to authentic Cantonese cuisine, exceptional service, and a beautiful atmosphere, it’s a must-visit for food lovers looking for quality dining in Dubai.

We had an amazing dining experience at Shang Palace. The dim sum was incredibly delicious, truly some of the best we’ve had in Dubai. Special thanks Mark, who was exceptionally warm and attentive throughout our visit. His hospitality made our meal even more memorable.
